Anyone tried Geranylgeraniol? Alternative to Coq10?

[marcjf]

First time I heard about Geranylgeraniol (GG) was through a cardiologist that prescribes it to his patients that use statins.

Just like many others in this community, I tried different forms of Coq10 without any benefit. I was curious about GG because I never heard it being used in the context of ME/CFS. The literature about this compound is not great either, and a lot of the papers seem focused of mitigating statin side effects.

GG is a precursor of Coq10, Vit K2 and testosterone, and it is supposed to be a way for us to regulate endogenous production. I have also read that its molecular weight is smaller, and it is better absorbed than Coq10, but I am not sure about that. Like I said, literature is not great.

Anyone used it?

@scisolver was talking about it in this post so maybe knows something more: https://forums.phoenixrising.me/thr...arch-ie-antibiotics.85052/page-2#post-2385805

I see in some threads that @Violeta also mentioned the mevalonate pathway that this is supposed to have something to do with. ??
